Condensation of a Hard-Core Bose Gas
Abstract
A grand canonical system of hard-core bosons, subject to thermal fluctuations, is studied on a lattice. Starting from the slave-boson representation with fields for occupied and unoccupied sites, an effective field theory is derived in which a complex field corresponds with the order parameter of the condensate and a real field with the total density of bosons. Near the boundary between the normal and the superfluid phase we obtain the Ginzburg-Landau functional for the superfluid order parameter. A mean-field calculation shows that the critical temperature $T_c$ increases with increasing density up to a maximum and decreases with further increasing density.
